KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan women's tennis team wrapped up the 2021 portion of its season after finishing up hosting the Betsy Kuhle Invitational at West Hills Athletic Club on Saturday.  

The Broncos finished the weekend with eight total wins in doubles play and 12 in singles play. 

"It was great to be competing again in our fall portion of our season," said head coach Ryan Tomlinson. "Our young kids really needed those extra 25-30 matches this fall. I feel like we are in a great spot right now, we still have some things to work on over the next couple of weeks. I can't say enough about this group. They are hard-workers, great students and outstanding human beings. I look forward to seeing what this group can do come the start of our season in January."
